Zach Smith 18 Year-old Guitarist : Random Shred

[MickeyLove01]

when you're 25 you're going to look 45

[metalfan120]

sorry i wasnt thinking, but i hardly ever am :)

[MrSleep1980]

my name is Zack Smith, i play guitar too lol

[metalfan120]

epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! iwant an uberschall so badly what cab are u usin

[CGLmusic]

Guys,, this video is called 'Random shred' Not 'Beautiful, melodic ballad' .. If you dont like shredding then dont watch something called 'Random shred' duh! Listen to a band or something,, And for the record, this guy rips,, I love to shred out, its fun, but this guy pisses all over me and he's only one year older.. Peace Out.

[metalmusiqcrzy]

dude is the bogner best than the marshall its prolly the top 3 tube head i like

[ruffles272]

kind of awkward the way you ran away from the chair but you definitely have talent

[cloy26]

a digitech pedal into an uberschall? lol

[MrManson94]

looks like he's 35+

and yeah sure ... fast schreddinh stuff, but no melody whatsoever, you might just as well just play two or three chords and sing over it, ... that'd be more creative

[5150VanAlien]

Please don't get me wrong, you're a gifted player but you need to play material that warms your audience, has feeling and emotion.

[Flabergastick]

@5150VanAlien hahahahaha your a homo

[5150VanAlien]

@Flabergastick No I'm not! I have a beautiful family...and if we need any more shit out of you, WE'LL SQUEEZE YOUR HEAD! YOU BIGOT!

[iamangelo]

you look like a friend of mine, his name was BLACK METAL DAVE!

[armaggedonisthecure]

you losers don't realise it yet, but this is not just some kid playing in his room...

he is in a very promising underground canadian bm band (urheimat), who released a killer album this year ('the gates to an elder constellation").

what did you do when you were 18, dorks? are any of you in here even 18?...

at 30, i am too old for this shit, but i had to say something to defend quality musicians from this lame new generation...

[BrandonGaetaMusic]

so true!

[aektzis91]

boring and shit sounding

[BionicSam]

Great job playing guitar, fluid, fast, and distorted and very technical.Get yourself some(band)Vio'lence-eternal nightmare. V is like satriani playing speed metal. (P.Demmel of MachineHead-hehas a sig Jackson out.Killer Bogner,I'd trade jvm for a Engl (rules) Powerball Bogner Ecstacy+ENGL Powerball=You'd never leave that room!.

[MetalCanada23]

you know your a fuckin poser who sucked all his dads money and never worked a second is his life when........ zach smith has no fans, other than himself

[Gangstauz07]

TRAMP!!!!!

[brentonsbbe]

timjatomnee i would NEVER sell that marshall. thats a jvm 2000. i would bet a million dollers that the jvm could go toe to toe with that bogner. siiick guitar playing btw! you need to find your self a band to play in!

[drewpontow]

jvm 2000 is not a amp, you might be thinking of the jcm 2000, that amp hes got is a jvm 410h. but your right marshalls rock, id take a marshall > a bogner.

[chuckmehh]

it is a JCM2000 actually... a TSL 100

[drewpontow]

yea it is, its sad I didnt relize it was a TSL 100 considering I own one.

[chuckmehh]

hahah nice man

[boomerhotpants]

this guys is awesome!!

[zand0524]

haha no, what's a shame is that some people are so insecure about themselves that they regress to putting down others' abilities to feel better about their lack of talent. Maybe you didn't like what he played, so what? Grow up and realize that we all have different tastes in music. This was awesome man, keep it up!

[PAULOcbi]

its a shame what passes for guitar playing on-line,retards running their fingers up and down the fret board ,matching ur scale pattern and rarely straying, crapola !

[CoC350]

WTF was that dude?

[concon123]

yes. that was random. and yes i am mad that I watched this.

[theviper033]

Good work mate. A little more practice, and you'll get there. Keep it up!!

[samgc14]

The one vibrato I heard sucked.

[timjatomnee]

Nice gear, sell the marshall.

[BijanMetallica]

Oh my goodness, an 18 year old guitarist! I've never seen one of those before!

[lordporro]

hahhahahaha

[keigon1989]

lol XD

[esphorizon]

The Uberschall RULES!!

[xXxPresRGAxXx]

sweet playing, good guirist, awesome tone and amp but damn he doesnt look 18 he looks 35 with that beard lol

[fonzyrelche]

did u get that guitar from saks music

[deenys]

plus vite !!!

[roccckkerrr]

pretty decent, although a few moments of randomness would make it more interesting. bend/vibrato??

[mikedowopdowop]

this guy is mega at shreding

[nanoladdiesman]

SHIT BALLZ

[bowo89]

shit, clean shred

[tomulator]

Ripping!!!

[guitarfer]

expensive shit

[Rob2977]

I think you guys need better speakers ..I hurd it very well... it was a one shot deal

on cam..if you didn't hear it or don't have the ears for it...then hit next FOR SOMETHING SOFTER ..awsome job!!

[Alex30Shampo]

ohhhhhhhhh....very good song...bye

[gandaragarcia]

lol such a big amplifier and we can barely hear you.

[zoomzilla67]

That was impressive man. You think next time we can actually hear you? The volume was so low!

[caccaretto]

shred does not lead to anywhere, music does

[guitargodknobs]

but you are a homosexual. No, actually you are just jealous.

[bloeregard]

ummm, yeah try playing something called music. this stuff is cool and all but ehhh... you don't need to shred to make an awesome metal song. just listen to andy james, he can shred the shit out of anyone but he makes great songs like devils day and in the wake of chaos and they have almost no schredding at all, check him out.

[hessian101]

Fast, and accurate... but it lacks creativity. Meh.

[BlindRevolutionMan]

very well man!!!! nuclearblast!!!!

[anotherbigdan]

I think far too many people are bitching/praising his guitar playing... Play what YOU want to play brother, and play it well. Fuck whoever thinks they're better because they play with more feeling, or prefer a different mode, or whatever the fuck. PS I am jealous of the uberschall and the goatee!

[ten8goa]

hey fireboy, practice what u preach

[ten8goa]

the last thing most people wanna hear is someone telling everyone else how good they are.

[Rammstein133]

god i love amps

[bringbackhipv]

I back that up to the grave

[followthehatecrewild]

yeah i remember seeing this a long time ago and thought it was amazing...i dont think that now

[fireball676]

funny thing people think just cause you can shred that makes you amazing, try mastering all western styles and then some european and classical, oh did i mention finger style, i did shred when i was 15 i do a lot of classical and fingerstyle now even with the shred, also try country style it will shock you the talent it takes, anyway this was to put the 16 year old in his place who said he could shred, i just turned 17 and i bet ive got you nailed kid, so just keep coments like that to yourself

[moosepoop69]

your nothing but a faggot

[MaestorPaul]

Drop your track or leave forever!

[fireball676]

dont be a fucking moron, why the fuck would you drop a message on a year old message, waste of fucking time.

[thenumber55kid]

im 16 and can shred way better than this mofo

[coolcustomer31]

lets see it.

[lazybassplr56]

fuck you.

[moosepoop69]

real musicians don't critisize musicians, faggot

[CO2Breath]

Be musician before writing your words.Owner of some guitar or bass it don't make you a musician

[Vegetablesaregood]

You don't see many eighteen years with that much beard and gear.

[allthatremains333]

does any1 know what type of bogner avenged sevenfold uses

[iwannabedead]

bogner ubershall

[HarmonicMinorJ]

Pretty good for a middle aged man

Nice playing

[SalGuitar89]

18?

looks 35 to me :D

[Codyyyn]

Agreed.

[jimbojimbojimbojimbo]

totally agree

[CrowaX]

An 18 Year-old with too much money. Look at that gear!

[dsjkak1]

He had to much money, I'm 18 I have a triple rec to, and broke. But he does have some nice shit.

[untoldguitarist]

Dude it sounds like you are just jelious the guitarist in my band had a $3300 PRS but he work his ass off for a whole year to buy it and waited 9 months for them to make it for him so IMO that is not spoiled that just shows how much he wanted that guitar, and also I have gear that others would kill to have and I worked my ass off to get it all.

[KobezGuitarist]

Fucking insane. Excellent shred with killer technic

[dariuccio2007]

si come borchia!!ahahahah

[noutube]

cool playing

[jperkdizzle]

wow thats a good goatee for an 18 year old

[sheenydonut]

Lol...age is nothing...just a number...in most cases

[kranitationdepartmen]

I like all the comments like "ALL NOTES NO FEELING ZOMG". That was hardly the POINT of this video. It's the same rhetoric as "what I like rules and what you like sucks". If you WANT something with "Feeling" search youtube for "feeling guitar solo" you fucking n00bs.

[Sabellbu]

well... This guy should try scales and not fucking around random notes. Anyone can do that.

[pooinsky]

Dude nice playing!

Haha at the end of the vid it kinda looked like you were running away from the camera lmfao =D

[adelfinie]

Great playing!

[BlowBackBenny]

ugly mug

[AviEdelson]

That was 437 notes in 35 seconds. Do you even know what any of them were?? If your going for speed, join the track team, or at least try to learn some music theory. Find a cure for that nervous knee syndrome too.

[Turulvar]

haha enjoy your pride, mate. i'm glad that i can provide a medium for the supplementation of your egocentricism. ah and very clever you are to suggest that I am lacking the area of music theory given that the notion of key changes illudes you. well done.

[Sabellbu]

He is referring to the fact that you dont use any scale. Ur not playing anything. You are just banging random notes... I can tell that you can play, and play fast. But cmon play a decent solo or riff!

[tenebrae654789]

i agree . can do the same thing at the same speed . my ex-guitarist too.

michael romeo for examples go at this speed using scales and making music not noise . much more difficult

[sheenydonut]

The name of this sais random shred.....RANDOM shred.....I'm not trying to insult you but that's just the name of this clip....peace bro XD

[tenebrae654789]

uh , you're right ...

peace bro ^^

[sheenydonut]

The name of this sais random shred.....RANDOM shred.....I'm not trying to insult you but that's just the name of this clip....peace bro XD

[craprapx2001]

you got told.

[heyheyronaldo]

What's your amp set up?

[powermetal4eva]

he looks 40

[emoboi311]

damn crank up the volume

[alkohallman]

when you can put that in a song that i want to hear, lemme know.

having chops is awesome, but try playing at 40bpm and make it feel good. bet ya cant.

[cali4tune]

Might you be a "player hater"? =)

Why can't people comment on what the video is rather than what it is not?

I think he did a pretty good job... oh wait... I think you should try it on a bass ukulele while underwater with 15 sharks and 2 electric eels swimming around... bet ya cant. Har har... =)

[OrdinaryAnomaly]

Dude, you got some high quality shit there, great playing

[joeFCKNenabnit]

Vibrato is awful. Good playing otherwise.

[FRZeppelin]

that amp is sick, and your playing is awesome

[A7XRules4life]

Damn, dude, you can shred. Is that a Parker guitar?

[Turulvar]

Thanks, mate. yes it is a custom mojo blueburst flame

[JEMxLEGACY]

Hey! Your from Canada too, no wonder your a good guitarist. Did you get the amp from B.C.?

[Turulvar]

Yes, i purchased it in vernon

[JEMxLEGACY]

How are you 18, look at the goatee! Anyway, good shredding.

[alienbusa]

sloppy but way better than most

[DylanBurke]

i personally thought it was great.

[highroller540]

greenespltd, the way you used the word pwns speaks volumes of you.

[Turulvar]

HA- what a delicious sociological experiment this is

[highroller540]

oh, and by the way, tasty licks

[rredzone]

there is no way that dude is 18

[Nastyn810]

let me sum the comments up - "I can't even dream of playing that, so let me tell you about how you have no feel....yea.... that'll make me feel better about myself"

[Fama0]

Yes, he does play amazingly well. The problem is, he plays pretty much shit. It sounds ok, but not "good" at all.

[Gregrg7]

It's like watching an insect devour a victim...faceless...technical.­..

Mr. Cucumber would be proud???

[rn1gt2]

Are we supposed to be impressed??? Just another young guy whos been watching too many dragonforce videos. As others have said, no feeling. Ive seen people play about 2% of the notes of this, and it was much better.

[lespaul101101]

SLASH IS BETTER

[denniediablo]

HAHA FUK YEA SLASH IS BETTER

but this gyes tit as fuk

he just needs to learn blues to get feeling

hopefully he gets it

[FRZeppelin]

wow...

[Activethrasher00]

technical, but no feeling.

[smileomen]

guitar masturbation, its not big and its not clever

[DaRockLobster]

I'm not a huge fan of right-hand tapping, but damn, you played that so cleanly. Good job.

[briceX]

my god that was boring

[Mahavishnu80]

you need to create your sound..check out chris poland and eric johnson and copy them lol

[TomCheats]

is anybody ever still impressed by this sort of thing anymore?

[DrkstHr7]

yeah

seems every guitar store you walk into

you hear that exact same shit

its starting to get very old

[greenespltd]

slow wide vibrato PWNS.

[UrosR]

awesome technique dude! Not very musical, but amazingly clean! How long have you been playing? How much do you practice?

[heroinpatrick]

i think the most impressive thing is that facial hair at 17.

[Turulvar]

Recently, I turned 18.

[CamDodd010]

Agreed

[bell34748]

hey we cant hear you!

[joeyfingers]

If your 17 and your playing like this now thats very impressive! Just some friendly Musical advice...Slow down on your vibrato a bit! Great chops though. Take care.

[killyoupl]

Damn dude, you must be helluva rich. You look older than 17.

[glmetal]

is that the bogner cab with t-75s and v30s in x position??

[Turulvar]

yes

[glmetal]

does it give you problems with the power?(t-75 are

75 watts each, v30s are 30 watts...) im' asking that because i want to customize my marshall 1960a with

2 v30s like the uberschall...ops i forgot...you're

really great player!!!

[deathgrind1]

V30's are 60 watts and still the T-75's will break up sooner and to a greater, more musical, degree than the V30's. The power difference will not be an problem so the real question is if you will like the tone of them together.

[dolphinzwhisper]

kind of non-musical but very good, and clean.

[mpaton2006]

sounds like one of those old fruit machine alarms

[crimsondaydream]

not a problem! ahh i see lol sounds awesome though! one's just come up on ebay and im thinking of bidding but because im in England, there's hardly anywhere at all to try them!

as long as its fairly high-gain and fairly modern voiced should be fine lol!

dom

[crimsondaydream]

just not fair at all! lol geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze! you've got some serious chops man! and some awesome gear to boot! whats the uberschall like to play?

[Turulvar]

Thanks for the kind words. To be honest, it took a little getting used to. It reacts to one's picking in a different manner than any other amp i've played, but once i got used to it, it's deffinitely the amp i'll be doing the most work with. The only problem is that it forces you into automatic hatred towards anything less than "it"--anti-metalzone syndrome i call it ha.

Ciao

-Z

[jimbojimbojimbojimbo]

really nice man!

[beezewax69]

hey man you are pretty damn good keep it up

[theedgemike]

Nice amp, nice guitar... damn i wish i was you! Oh yeah, your playing isnt that bad either... lol your very very good!

[ShredKat]

Way to shred it up bro!!!
